That's reading a lot into Horii's quote about it:
“it won't completely disappear, but it'll be different. Those who played Dragon Quest until now will still feel at home”
After eleven turn based games I'm really interested in them trying something new-ish. It doesn't mean it'll necessarily be a full action-RPG, but I think adding in some action elements will be a good move for DQ. I played through 8, 9, and 11 in 2019 and got to feeling like I was using the same strategy for battles in all of them. I don't mind a shake up that could make it a bit more engaging.
